Memories came flooding back, and Liu Ruyi remembered a lot of things. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He remembered that the girl had carefully mended her clothes under the lamp, and that the torn and torn blue shirt had been pulled back from the line of death again and again under her skillful hands, and had become another garment that could be worn out to meet people; He remembered the scene when the girl followed him to the beach to touch the shells, and the seaside would always leave a lot of shells after the tide receded, some red, some yellow, some blue, and colorful, and the two of them had picked up enough shells, and he would tell her the story of the ancient people who used shells to make money, and then the two imagined these shells as copper coins, and imagined life after having money; He also remembered the scene when he left home and went to the county school that day, there was a flower in the girl's hair, it was a begonia, the begonia was fragrant but the color was strong and gorgeous, but it was overshadowed by the girl.
The girl pinched her braids, looked at the ground, and said in a whisper-like voice: "Brother Ruyi, remember to come back!" ā
Brother Ruyi, remember to come back!
He clenched his fists and exclaimed, in an impassioned voice, with the ambition and pride peculiar to youth, "I will definitely return!" ā
He believed he would come back.
He did come back, but the girl was gone, she was sold to Yangzhou and trained as a "Yangzhou thin horse".
Born in Jiangnan, all men have heard the story of Yangzhou's thin horse.
A lot of words choked up in his throat, and a lot of things he wanted to say, including her sewing needles, and the red shells in the moonlight, and the delicate begonia flowers.
He really wanted to catch up with her!
He stepped forward and tried to touch her head, as he had done before, as if it were a kitten's head.
However, the girl glanced at him quietly, looked at his exquisite clothes, looked at the soldiers standing solemnly beside him, looked at his momentum of scolding Fang Xuan, took a step back, gently curled her face, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes and said softly: "Master Liu." ā
Ah, sir, what an unattainable word!
He never imagined that he would one day be called a master!
"You ......" Liu Ruyi suddenly stopped talking, he suddenly didn't know how to talk to this girl, his body was frozen because of the shock, like a stubborn stone falling into the water.
She calls herself Master!
Liu Ruyi felt that his language was as dead and clumsy as a stone, he took a long breath, used his greatest courage, and asked, "What's the matter, how do you call me master?" ā
How can you call me sir, how can you call me sir!
At this moment, he felt that he was no different from those Sven scum who went to the Goolan brothel to have fun.
But I didn't do anything! Liu Ruyi roared in his heart!
"What else could I call you?" The girl replied calmly.
"You can still call me Brother Ruyi, just like before, just like in the village!" Liu Ruyi said vigorously.
"No, Mom (Note 1) wants us to call someone like you, master, and I can't disobey." Her voice was faint, like a fragrant begonia, but anyone could hear it, and there was endless grief in it.
"I ......" Liu Ruyi suddenly didn't know what to say.
yes, it's her job, it's her work ethic.
He is a civil affairs official, so he should treat the people as innocent in charge of the government; She is a "Yangzhou thin horse", so she can only call people who seem to be powerful "masters", and expect them to favor her in exchange for savings as a guarantee for old age.
They're just living up to their work ethic.
"But what kind of profession is this prostitute! This kind of profession should be banned entirely! Liu Ruyi roared in his heart, he felt that there was a storm brewing in his mind, this storm had not yet occurred, it was still accumulating energy, but once it broke out, it would burn like a flame until everything he hated was destroyed.
What's more, he was just a mere student before, without any ability, and although he was respected, he couldn't change anything. But now, he not only has the official body of the Jiupin chief bookkeeper, but also the most important subordinate of the son, he now only has a few reserve officials under him, but everyone believes that he will one day be in charge of the party and hold the power.
When that day comes, the anger in his heart will erupt and destroy the things he hates completely.
But no matter what, his anger would not be on the person in front of him, but he also couldn't think of any good way to deal with her.
How was he supposed to talk to her?
In the posture of Brother Ruyi in the past, but she clearly called him "master", which is not admitting herself; Do you really think of yourself as a master, but what is the difference between this and those bastards who are "rich and easy to wife, expensive and easy to make friends"!
He stood there dumbfounded, his outstretched hand still frozen in mid-air, he had always thought that as long as he followed Childe, there was nothing to do in the world, but now he realized that there were problems in this world that could not be solved by Datongism.
The girl walked slowly, but did not stop, but walked straight past him, not minding the outstretched hand.
"Where are you going?"
"Liu Gong borrowed us from the brothel, and asked us to be a 'lady of etiquette' for him, and he was very generous, and he gave twenty taels at a time, and I left my outfit in the room, and I wanted to get it back."
Twenty taels! This money seemed to Liu Ruyi as a lot of money in the past, at least he never felt that he might have it. But now, not to mention the salary that the son gave him, just say that the crystal mirror he treasured and collected has a price of 10,000 gold, and he can ask the girl to be a lady of etiquette 500 times!
"You, don't do this, I'll pay for it, you, you should be good!" Liu Ruyi never thought that his tongue would be so clumsy, he ran to the girl like crazy, and said what was in his heart: "I've been thinking about you all these years, thinking about how you're doing, and whether you'll be bullied." Now that I follow Liu Gong, I have money, you can be good, I will support you, I will not let other men bully you again! ā
His tone was fierce, as if he was fighting someone fiercely.
He thought that the girl would happily agree, after all, he was his wishful brother.
But the girl just looked at him quietly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of her eyes twitched with imperceptible amplitude, and then she shook her head, and passed under his waving arm.
A sentence floated from behind her:
The posture of Pu Liu is not enough to serve the king; Yizhou is far away, Jun should go quickly.
Note 1: In the Ming Dynasty, the bustard mother was called "mother", and the prostitute was "daughter", although the mother-daughter relationship was entrusted, but in fact there was not much affection between the two, and the daughter wanted to redeem her mother would also have to pay a lot of money. When her daughter is good, her mother will usually cry loudly, indicating that they have a deep friendship with each other, but this is mostly because she is missing a cash cow, not because there is any inseparable friendship between the two.
